The Weird

Who can understand The Weird and The Fickleness of Fate ?
Would you like to meet The Sisters Weird and discuss this on a date ?
What about The Man in The Moon, with that smile across his face,
do you think he's laughing at a joke about the Human Race ?

But it's no joke if The Icy Hand strokes a person we hold dear.
And have you ever seen The Bogey Man and did you feel the fear ?
Have you ever heard The Wild Wolves howling for The Moonlight Bright ?
Have you ever sold some Sanctity to enjoy a Dark Delight ?

Have you ever felt the Pains of Love and The Pangs of Misery ?
And are really just a slave of sorts or do you like to think you're free ?
Are you just a simple soul on board your little ship of life ?
Caught by The Waves of Helplessness on The Surging Seas of Strife

But would you Ride Out with The Wild Hunt or maybe The Valkerie ?
Would you like to talk with Father Tyme to understand Their Mystery ?
Would care to meet sweet Lady Death in Her Long Black Flowing Robe
to learn something of The Agonies that sweep around The Globe ?

Would you like to see The Horsemen when they Gallop through The Sky ?
and hear The Mighty Thunder as they go a'pounding by.
And if Armies massed upon The Plains at Old Armagiddio,
would this bring about The Prophecy that was Written long ago ?

But will we EVER understand The Weird with Its Reasons and Its Way ?
Will we EVER listen to those Words that It often tries to say ?
Will we EVER learn some True Respect before we all are dead ?
Or will we just try to ignore The Weird
and rely on our Sophistries instead ?

Time Slips

Now is now .....
But Now just went
Drifting like a dream
Because Things
May be
Or Things
May not
Be always what they seem

Tomorrow slips into yesterday
And it does so very fast
The trancience of the moments
Only memories in The Past
